With retrogression induced by <br />cattle grazing, value for elk will decline. The increase of fortis <br />and shrubs would increase habitat value for wildlife initially. <br />Retrogression to poor condition will result in erosion on steeper <br />slopes, and habitat values will decline severely for all species. <br />Hydrological Interpretations <br />Soils in this site are grouped into "D" hydrologic group, as <br />outlined in the Soils of Colorado Loss Factors and Erodibilitv <br />Hydrologic Grouoings 1979 handbook. Field investigations are <br />needed to determine hydrologic cover conditions and hydrologic <br />curve numbers. Refer to SCS National Engineering Handbook, <br />Section 4 and Peak Flows in Colorado handbook for more <br />information. <br />Recreation and Natural Beauty <br />Other than occasional antelope or elk hunting, very little <br />recreational activity occurs. This site has little natural beauty <br />that would attract people. <br />Endangered Plants and Animals <br />No endangered or threatened species have been identified. Species <br />names to be included as reliable information becomes available. <br />Counties in Which this Range Site Occurs: <br />Fremont <br />Park <br />
